Ivan Puga Gonzalez

I'm passionate about unraveling the complexities of social behavior through agent-based modeling, using a combination of computational simulations and empirical data. My work explores how intricate social systems emerge from simple, localized interactions among individuals, with a focus on both human and non-human primates.

I am currently involved in several projects, including the CHORIZO, I4C, and PRO-CLIMATE initiatives under the EU Horizon program. In the past, I have contributed to the Religion, Ideology & Prosociality (RIP) project, and Modeling Religious Change project.
